The hydrolysis of an ester is catalyzed by dilute acids $A$ and $B$. The rate constants for the two processes are $K_A$ and $K_B$ respectively. If $K_A > K_B$,which of the following statements is correct?

  • A
    Acid $A$ is a weaker acid than acid $B$.
  • B
    Acid $A$ is a stronger acid than acid $B$.
  • C
    Both acids have the same acidic strength.
  • D
    The catalytic effect of both acids is due to their conjugate bases.

For the reaction,$CH_3Br_{(aq)} + OH_{(aq)}^{-} \rightarrow CH_3OH_{(aq)} + Br_{(aq)}^{-}$,the rate law is $\text{rate} = k[CH_3Br][OH^{-}]$. What is the change in the rate of reaction if the concentration of both reactants is doubled?

For the reaction $A + B \to$ products,doubling the concentration of $A$ the rate of the reaction is doubled,but on doubling the concentration of $B$ the rate remains unaltered. The overall order of the reaction is:

The rate constant is the same for $3$ reactions of order $I, II$,and $III$,respectively,with the unit of concentration being in moles per litre. If the concentration of the reactant is unity,the rates of reaction $R_1, R_2, R_3$ will be:

The reaction $2N_2O_5 \rightleftharpoons 4NO_2 + O_2$ follows first order kinetics. Hence,the molecularity of the reaction is

For a reaction,$A + B \longrightarrow$ Product; the rate law is given by $r = k[A]^2[B]^{1/2}$. What is the order of the reaction?
